This has been one rough week ... starting monday night I tossed and turned cause I knew the axe was falling at work ... it was all I could do to get myself into work on Tuesday because I knew it was doomsday ... and since the woman being let go seems to have a huge problem with me the lawyers recommended we not come in contact with each other and avoid all conflict ... easy to say ... hard to do when our office is about the size of my apartment ... but I did my best ... when I saw the 2 hour packing job was almost over and she was putting things in her car I went out into the warehouse until the ordeal was over ...


the 3 of us in the office breathed a sigh of relief ... when there are only 5 people total in your office ... 4 women and a man and the man travels often it is hard when one person hates their job ... hates a coworker ... and stomps around with a sour attitude ... so the 3 girls felt good when it was over ...


now I have kinda mentioned before but I work for the same company as my dad ... he is the GM there ... but not nearly my boss ... he is my boss' boss ... there is no conflict of interest ... I get paid less than the girl that was there before me ... I have double the skill ... work twice as hard ... and go by my first and middle name so very few people know ...


the woman who was laid off felt I was the reason because I was "the boss' daughter" ... that is fine ... even flattering she thinks I have that much power when I am truly the pee-on in the office but whatever ... so in her review she proceeded to write a lot about how horrible I am and how awful it is having to work with "the boss' daughter" ... so some people found out who I was ... fine I can deal with that ... I wanted to be judged on my own merits not on my dad's but whatever I can deal ... we are in the satellite office doing marketing so whatever ...


but yesterday I came to work to find out this person has been calling the sales people ... leaving a message on their voice mail saying "I have something of interest to share with you" ... while working for this company she never interacted with the sales people ... and we have figured out that my real last name is what is so interesting and needs to be shared with these people ...


first off ... my first words were "dumb bitch" ... it is hurtful ... she was told specifically not to share the information ... in all honesty the sales people knowing who I am isn't going to make my life harder ... it would in fact make it easier ... there would be no more snotty letters ... I wouldn't have to beg and cajole to get reports in on time ... and everyone would be sweet to me ... it would be fake as hell and I would hate it ... but it wouldn't make life harder ...


and who calls and leaves a voice mail message when trying to do something underhanded ... you send an anonymous letter ... leave a message and don't say who you are ... I mean come on this is revenge against work 101 ...


just typing this has exhausted me ... I don't want to be treated different at work ... I don't want my dad to take any flack ... I just want her to stop being a force in our work lives ...


but mostly ... right now ... I just want to sleep ...
